awesome-r-games

This is a list of games you can play in the R language, which is (supposed to be) a 'free software environment for statistical computing and graphics'.

Please submit an issue or pull request to adjust the list. Add the game alphabetically to the relevant section like * Game ([source](<link>)) by [Name](<link>). Add other links if relevant, like a blog post or live app, and put the game name in {curly braces} ({}) if it's an R package.

Note: this list was initially referred to as an Awesome List, but it does not yet fully meet the requirements.
